cutting edge as it operates in. order to attain the end stated. 1

The more specific objects and advantages will become apparent from aconsideration is of thedescription following taken in connection withaccompanying drawings illustrating an operative embodiment.

In said draw1ngs:

1 '20 elevation, the'o-perators hand being suggested as opcrativelypositioningthe same as in use, Figure 2 is an enlarged side elevation ofthe cutter alone, V

Figure 3 is acentral vertical sectional view of the cutter,

Figure 4 is a cross sectional view takenon the line 4-4 of Figure 2, and1 Figure 5 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 55 of Figure 2.Referring specifically to the drawings, the tool comprises a disk cutteras at 10 which is freely revoluble on a rivet or stud 10 which connectsthe cutter to a handle or operating body 11. Such handle consists of anupright grip portion 12. At the lower por-r tion of the grip 12, anenlarged base 13 is provided which is bifurcated to accommodate thecutter 10 and whichis extended beyond opposite sides of the disk toprovide a rest as 0 at 14. and 15, for the hand of the operator assuggested in Figure 1. 4 r

The grip 12 is hollowso as to constitute a reservoir, and locatedtherein is an. applicator 16, of waste, cotton battingforthe] like l l Vi p which is saturated with kerosene, other oil or Figure 1 is aviewshowing the tool inside I carrying said cutter member the like. Theupper end of the grip 12 is provided with a removableplug or cap 17,

preferably screwed in place as at 18 as shown. As appears in Figure 8,theinterior of the grip 12 communicates'with the bifurcation 5Q of thebase Band the applicator 16 constantly I wipes or engages edge 19 of thecutter 10, constantly applying oil or other material thereto as thecutter is drawn over roofing paper or like material,

the oil-coated cutting edge preventing tar, rubber or other'material ofthe roofing'paper adhering to the cutter and interfering with effectivecutting.

Various changes may vided they'fall within the spirit and scope of theinvention. i I 7 I I claim as my invention i V 1. A cutter device of theclass described comprising a cutter member, a hollow handle andapplicator means in the handle to apply. material to the cutting edge ofthe-cutter to prevent adhesion thereto during cutting operation.
